Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

In Part 3 we reviewed the features of our new solar charged electric lawn mower, focusing on the brushless motor.在第3部分，我们审查的特点，我们的新太阳能被控电动草坪割草机，着眼于无刷电机。 Today, in Part 4 we focus on our efforts to install the solar charging station, including the solar panel.今天，在第4部分我们专注于我们的努力，安装太阳能充电站，包括太阳能电池板。

I for one am really excited.我来说，真的感到很兴奋。 I did not do very well in science in school.我没有做的非常好，科学在学校。 In fact, I stopped taking science after grade 9.事实上，我停止以科学后， 9年级。 So I don’t understand how solar panels work at all.  This fear of the unknown did make me a little apprehensive about me putting this solar charging station together by myself.所以我不明白如何太阳能电池板的工作，在所有这恐惧未知确实令我有点担心，我把这个太阳能充电站在一起，由我自己。

The good news?一个好消息吗？ Well, I was able to do it after only 2 hours sleep! The night before I was out on the west coast of California and took the ‘red eye’ (overnight) flight back east.那么，我能这样做之后，只有2个小时的睡眠！的前一天晚上我是列于西海岸的加利福尼亚州和了'红眼' （通宵）飞行回到东。 I don’t know about you but I never get any sleep on those flights.  But, I digress我不知道你，但我从来没有得到任何的睡眠对这些航班，但我偏离

OK, the first (of many) picture below shows all of the components of the solar charging station laid out on our back lawn.确定，第一（许多）下面的图片显示，所有的组成部分，太阳能充电站奠定列于我们回到草坪。 The two metal parts (at the top of the picture below) which look like a weird ‘Z’ are to be attached to the charger station itself (which is at the bottom of the picture).两个金属零件（在顶部的下面的图片）的外观像一个怪异的Z '要重视充电器站本身（这是在底部的图片） 。 The small boxes on the extreme left and right each contain one of the batteries.小方块，极左和极右势力各自包含其中的电池。 And, the white thing in the middle is the underside of the solar panel, measuring 16 and 3/4 inches by 18 inches.和，白事，在中东是底太阳能电池板，测量16日和3 / 4英寸乘18英寸。

Now, notice the two holes in the top and lower black horizontal frames in the above picture.现在，请注意两洞在顶端和较低的黑色卧式框架，在上述图片。 These are used to affix the panel to what ever you want to place it on.这些都是用来追究小组，什么都想要将它放在。 However, you are not required to affix the panel to anything.不过，您不须追究有关小组的东西。 Per the manufacturer’s customer service, some customers apparently move the panel during the day to get more sun light.每制造商的客户服务，有些客户显然动议小组在白天，以获得更多阳光。 That’sa bit too much work for me (my wife’s husband can be a bit lazy that'sa位太多的工作对我来说（我的妻子的丈夫，可有点懒惰 ) so I will be fixing it to something. ） ，所以我将它固定的东西。

While the instructions say to place the solar panel at a 45 degree angle to gain the most direct sun light I decided to have the solar panel lay flat on the top of this small deck box.而指示说，把太阳能电池板在一个45度角，以获得最直接的阳光，我决定有太阳能电池板奠定单位对顶部的甲板上这个小方块。

Now, I do have to be honest, because at the end of the day if one does not maintain one’s integrity then what does one have (not to get too philosophical).现在，我要诚实，因为在这一天结束，如果不保持一个的完整性，然后什么一有（不要太哲学） 。 The manufacturer needs to improve two things to make the installation easier: (A) more detailed step by step installation instructions (I guess that where Daily Home Renovation Tips come in制造商的需要，以改善两件事，使安装更容易： （一）更详细的一步一步的安装说明（我猜想，如果每天在家装修秘诀来了 ) and (B) supply all of the tools needed to put this together. ）和（ b ）供应的所有必要的工具，把这项在一起。

If they would have simply supplied a flat wrench to assemble the part which will affix the solar panel to the flat or angled surface and if they would have supplied the flat screw driver the size of the ones you use on a pair of glasses I would have saved more than an hour of wasted time looking for these things in my own home.如果他们将只是提供一个单位扳手组装的一部分，这将追究太阳能电池板，以单位或直角表面的话，他们会提供该单位螺丝刀的大小对你使用的一对眼镜，我会节省一个多小时的时间浪费在寻找这些东西在我自己的家。 Other manufactures of other products commonly do such things to improvement the customer’s experience.其他制成品的其他产品的普遍做这些事情，以改善客户的经验。 However, that is my ONLY complaint about all this.不过，这是我唯一的投诉，这一切。 As one of the judges on American Idol likes to say, I’m just ‘keeping it real’ for y’all.作为一名法官就美国偶像喜欢说，我只是'保持真正的' y'all 。

The first step was th attach the metal stand to the black charger station with simple bolts and screws.第一步是次附加金属支架，以黑色充电器站与简单的螺栓和螺丝钉。

Next, I tried to see of the cord from the solar panel to inside the deck box would fix in the space underneath the back of the lid.接下来，我试图看到的脐带血由太阳能电池板内的甲板上框定在太空的下背部的盖子。 No such luck.没有这样的运气。 So I drilled a hole on top of the deck box lid sufficiently large for the cord.因此，我钻了一个洞，顶部的甲板上框盖足够大，为脐血。 However, I did not first look (you know what they say, measure twice and cut / drill once) to see the position of the cord in the underside of the solar panel.不过，我没有先看看（你知道他们说，措施和两次削减/演练一次）看到的立场，脐带血在下方的太阳能电池板。 So, I had to drill a second time about 5 inches further away from the first hole.所以，我不得不演习，第二次约5英寸进一步脱离第一洞。

Next I then attached the brackets to one of the two holes on either side of the frame on the underside of the solar panel.接下来，我，然后附上括号内，以其中的两洞两侧的框架上下方的太阳能电池板。 Next, as I carefully guided the 10 feet of cord from the back of the solar panel through the second hole I had drilled, I placed the solar panel right side up on top of the deck box lid..其次，正如我仔细地指导了10英尺的电线从后面的太阳能电池板，通过第二洞，我钻，我把太阳能电池板的右侧了对上方的甲板上框盖.. Using the other side of these brackets as a guide, I then drilled two more holes into the top of the deck box, one for each bracket.使用的另一边，这些括号内为指导，我便钻出两个洞到顶部的甲板中，一为每个组别。 This allowed me to then use other, longer screws (not provided) to affix the solar panel to the top of the deck box lid.这让我，然后使用其他，较长的螺丝（没有提供）追究的太阳能电池板向上方的甲板上框盖子。

With the deck box lid now open, I placed the charging station unit inside.与甲板上框盖，现在开放的，我放在收费站的单位内。 This charging unit comes with a solar charging controller into which the wires within the cord from the solar panel are placed.这个收费单位附带一个太阳能充电控制器，其中电线内部的脊髓从太阳能电池板放置。 This solar charging controller will also ensure that the batteries are not over charged.这个太阳能充电控制器也将确保该电池不超过起诉。 It has two very small indicator lights.它有两个非常小的指示灯。 One will be red when the batteries are not in the charging unit and will be green when they are.一将是红色，当电池而不是在收费单位和将绿色，当他们。 The other small light will flash green when the batteries are in the charging unit being charged and will be a consistent (ie not flashing) green when they are fully charged and ready for use.其他小光将闪光的绿色，当电池在收费单位被起诉，并将于一致的（即不闪烁）绿色，当他们完全充电，并准备使用。

So, the solar charging station already has the wires into the controller.因此，太阳能充电站已经电线到控制器。 What you need to do is to insert, according to the very clear instructions (with diagrams) the wires from the solar panel into the solar charging controller by using a mini-screw driver.你需要做的就是要插入，根据很明确的指示（图）电线从太阳能电池板把太阳能充电控制器通过使用一个小型的螺丝刀。

And that’s it!就是这样！ Once I did this the two indicator lights on the solar charging controller were bright red (per above), which told me that I had connected the wires correctly.有一次我做这两个指示灯就太阳能充电控制器的鲜红色（ ％以上） ，告诉我，我已连接导线正确。

The last thing was to remove the packaging around each battery and place them into the charging unit.最后一件事是消除包装周围，每个电池和地点到收费单位。 This was the easiest part of this surprisingly easy assembly.这是最容易的部分，这很容易令人惊讶的大会。

And then I waited.然后我等待。 I was really, really tempted to place the batteries in the other charging unit that came with the lawn mower that can be plugged into an electrical outlet.我是真的，真的很想把电池，在其他收费单位附带的草坪割草机，可以插入到电源插座。 I really want to start using this lawn mower.我真的想开始使用此草坪割草机。 However, I wanted to do my own test to see how it would all work right from the start by being completely off grid.不过，我想做的事我自己的测试，看它如何将所有的工作从一开始就被完全抵消的网格。

We’ll wait for a few days and then report back to you on our first lawn mowing experience with our new solar charged, brushless, 24 V, self propelled, 19 inch, mulching, electric lawn mower!我们将等候数天，然后报告回您对我们的第一次刈割草坪的经验与我们的新太阳落案起诉，无刷， 24伏特，自我推进， 19吋，地膜，电动草坪割草机！ To continue to the next article in this series, where we take the new solar charged lawn mower out for a ‘test drive’ on our lawn, simply select this link to继续下一步的文章，在这一系列，我们在那里采取新的太阳能被控草坪割草机为'试驾'对我们的草坪上，只需选择此链接 Part 5第5部分 . 。
